To all whom zit/'mrtg concern,.- v

Be it knownthat I, CASPER' B'LooMBERG, a

York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Garter- Bands, of whichthe following isa speciiication. z

J My invention relates,v` more particularly to garter bands ofleatherfwhich are adapted to Figure I is a view of my improved banden agarter; Fig. 2 is a sectional View of the band shown in Fig. `1. Y

y The usual limb encircling band is formed of an outer facing of leather1,and an inner facing of moisture proof material 2 secured .thereto andwhich is Worn next the skin.

This inner layerof moisture proof material prevents perspiration fromthe limb of the `wearer reaching the leather and rotting it. As moistureproof material next theA skin Awould interfere with the naturalfunctions of the 4pores I prefer to perforate the band as Shown in thedrawing at 6. This permits the waste matter from' the skin to eva orate1vhiih wouldother wise be retained un er the A hose'engaging member 4 issecured to the l band by a short stra 3 and means for securing the `endsof the and together as shown.

at 5. l

I clail 1. A garter band composed Vof an outer facing of leather and aninner facing of moisture proof'material secured thereto, the compositeband being perforated for the purposes set forth.

2. A ventilated garter comprising a strip of leather'adapted to encirclethe liinbprovided with perforations for the purpose set forth, incombination with means for engag- .ing the hose and means for Securingthe ends oftheband together.

. j In/testimony whereof I have affixed my 'signature in presence of.two witnesses.
